What you'll hear:

• The importance of being proactive and speaking up for what you want in your career - no matter what your age.

• The value of *mentorship* and having a mentor you trust in the professional field you aim for guiding you in your next career move
• The mindset about success that Mike thinks everyone should drop like a hot potato
• There’s being in the right place - and PUTTING yourself in the right place - Mike goes into this distinction
• The value of a mentor who *isn’t* another musician
• Why it’s never too early to give back to people even if you’re just starting out
• New music - the expectation you need to drop if you’re ever going to give new music a chance (I had to hear this one for myself!)

Welcome back to Season 3 of Crushing Classical!

I'm starting this season out with a highlights episode of some moments that really stood out in my mind in the last 2 years of Crushing Classical. It was hard to narrow it down to just a few - I chose excerpts from several episodes that stood out to me such as:

- Good solid career and LIFE advice

- Great money advice in a nutshell

- Clips from musician founders about their ensemble model and the secret to great fundraising

- The #1 trait or QUALITY that I've seen in musicians I've had on the show that is the REAL reason WHY they've been able to do what they do. Although there are many examples of this in the entire history of this show, I chose two especially "mic-dropping" moments to share on this episode
